PULSATILLA NIGRICANS Ø

The common names of Pulsatilla Nigri are Wind Flower,
Pasque Floere, Meadow Anemone and Easter Flower. It grows in open
fields and plains in dry places in many parts of Europe, Russia and
Asia. The plant was introduced into Homoeopathy by Samuel
Hahnemann in 1805. The mother tincture is prepared from the whole
plant and dilution from it.

The chief guiding symptoms for the selection of Pulsatilla are
found in fair blue eyed women having rather cheerful mental state and
disposition. The tincture of Pulsatilla benefits the disorders of the
mucous membranes and of the respiratory and digestive passages. It is
also considered valuable for catarrhal affection of the eyes, catarrhal
diarrhoea and neuralgia. It is also of service in amenorrhoea, measles,
chilblains, nettlerash, neuralgic tooth ache, otalgia, indigestion and
bilious attacks.
